Summer 2025 project now open for expressions of interest!

Our incredible TBUC Moving Forward project is back for Summer 2025!

It’s a 6 week Good Relations experience for 20 young people in Years 8-10 (Age 12-14). “Moving Forward” will have Good Relations at the core with structured activities, a 2 night residential at Greenhill YMCA and a social action project where participants give back to their community

Get Ready for the TBUC: Moving Forward project

We are excited to announce our brand new TBUC: Moving Forward project. Here’s what it’s all about:

What's the Goal? We want you to better understand and respect the different cultures in your local community. Our sessions are all about being fun, interactive, and easy to join. Spaces are limited for this project so it will be a great chance to get to know each other really well and develop your teamwork skills!

What’s in Store?

  • Meet New Friends: We invite young people from all over Belfast to take part in Moving Forward! 

  • 17th June ~ Break the Ice: We’ll kick things off with an induction session to help everyone get to know each other.

  • 28th June ~ Teambuilding: We’ll work together as a team to build our communication and leadership skills

  • 16th-18th July ~ Residential Camp: Spend a few days together on a residential trip to Greenhill YMCA! We will be taking part in outdoor adventure activities and other fun team-building activities designed to help you connect and learn more about each other. 

  • Build Connections: From structured activities to free time, you'll have plenty of time to bond with your new friends.

  • 22nd and 25th July ~ Social Action Project: After the residential, you’ll work as a group on a project that you will design to make a difference in your community. You'll plan it together and tackle different parts of it as a team.

  • 31st July ~ Celebration event We will meet for one final time to celebrate your achievements and enjoy some well deserved pizza!

And After? Once you complete the project, we’ll help you find more opportunities to get involved or even volunteer.
